Doc’s note: I have a confession to make… I don’t read every book cover to cover. I’ve mentioned before that I’m a passionate reader. But there’s just not enough time to read every book, magazine, and newsletter.

That’s why today, I’m featuring an essay from Mark Ford, co-founder of the Palm Beach Research Group. Mark shares four tips to quickly get the most you can out of a book… without reading it cover to cover.

Doc’s note: We first began publishing Retirement Millionaire Daily in October 2015. Since then, we’ve sent more than 200 issues to our readers.

We’ve also welcomed tens of thousands of new readers. So every Thursday this month, we’re sending you our favorite issues from October 2015. If you haven’t read these issues, we hope you enjoy them. If you’ve already read them, use them as a refresher or share them with your friends and family.
